So I got my tattoo…

and I think I should’ve gone smaller. Shit. Not the time to be thinking this. I just want to be as bouncy happy about having it as I was about getting it.

You got another tatt? Where and what if you dont mind me asking?

Big is good!!! It shows everyone how tough and cool you are. 😉
I guess your pain tolerance has come along way from when you got your kitty tatt! (sorry for teasing)
Post pictures, I wanna see it.
Do you get those dreams shortly after you’ve got a tattoo that it comes off, scratches away? Every tatt but the last I’ve had that, for several nights of dreams. I’ll be looking down and just a little bit of the new tatt remains.

Oh yeah, pain tolerance much better 🙂 And go ahead and laugh – I do!!! A lie down required for a 15 min tat! I decided it must just be that it was the first one.
This one was just over an hour and I didn’t have to ask for a break (had one when artist had to see some other customers briefly) and only one cracker. Only one brief time when I felt faint!! Woohoo. And when it was over I asked him “Really?” Shanta teased me: no, he’s just kidding! But I really thought it was only about halfway done.
I was worried about the spine – I’ve heard it really hurts, and it did, in an intense pleasure pain way and it sent shivers down my spine. Purrrr…!!!!

Did you feel it in different parts of your body?
I did with my lower back tatt, cause it’s such a nerve centre.
Felt shots down to my knees.

Well, just go back and say `It’s great, but can you shrink it down a bit?’.

Seriously though, when do we get a pic?

Soon as I get them off Shanta’s camera – she took photos of the whole process!
Am feeling better about it now…yesterday I was ready to make sacrifices to the tatto gods to let me go back a day and change a couple of things…but, thankfully, that feeling has gone..helped MUCHLY by Shanta, Blair and Ches all saying how awesome it was and hence making me realise I was perhaps being far too much of a perfectionist – not a bad thing when getting a tat, just bad afterwards *grin*

A blue/torquoise bat on the back of my neck – very unmissable!!!

Umm, not so much. When the needle was on my spine, it sent tingles all the way down, and could feel the vibration going through my ears, but that’s about it.
Oh, and no, I haven’t had those dreams yet, they sound very disturbing – I hope I don’t get them!
